Patpong, in the heart of Bangkok, teems with bars and sex shows, catering mainly to farangs - foreigners. Cleo Odzer, a young anthropologist, spent three years studying the area. Gaining the confidence of the bar girls and bar boys, she interviewed them at length, lived among them, accompanied several back to their families in remote villages. She also got to know their customers, those in for a night or in forever (many fell in love and stayed on in Patpong). From Odzer's account emerges a far different picture from the cliched image of the prostitute.

Growing up, Joanne suffered at the hands of a violent boyfriend and controlling relatives, as her mother lapsed into a downward spiral following the break-up of her marriage. But the consequences of her mother's lifestyle turned out to be worse than Joanne could ever have imagined.

But when Joanne came across a red plastic bin in her mother's wardrobe in 2009, she realised that the family home held an even more sinister secret.

After five years of forced separation, two sisters reconnect with one midnight phone call that changed everything, made in secret from a basement. One was already free and the other desperate to escape. The Sister Act traces their dual journey from life inside an isolated faith to the shock of navigating the real world, then breaking into entrepreneurship, self-discovery and healing. Through raw conversation on beliefs, family and the invisible weight of childhood trauma, they explore what it means to untangle faith from fear and build everything from nothing.
